An all this got is muscle cramps

I put the symptoms in WebMD and it says the cramps are of the menstrual variety.

I like how the rumors just grow and grow in here. Six more pages on this thread he'll be dying of cancer and Pop will be poisoning his soup with PineSol. I'm fairly certain this forum's membership consists of a bunch of gossipy old ladies.

No one knows anything. He's not sitting out because he's unhappy...he already tried coming back once, and the attempt failed. He's still hurt. Pretty simple. Likely the "overuse" part was from all the extra training he's done beyond his commitment to the Spurs the last couple of years trying to make himself better.

I doubt he's unhappy with the Spurs, and I doubt the Spurs lose him after the season.

If he doesn't come back this season they should just trade him on draft night tbh

No way he's gonna be worth the supermax being this injure prone and playing like s#it the few games he played this season

[dbreiden83080]

I don't see him coming back this year. We won't know the truth about what's the deal with Kawhi until the summertime. Once the season is over there will be more stories that will be leaked out about this situation and then the truth will finally come out.

If he needed surgery that would have happened. If he is just pissed he has screwed himself in terms of value. He needs to get back down the stretch and play. Badly..

[barbacoataco]

Why is no one discussing the obvious elephant in the room? His offseason workout regime which completely changed his physique was always su ious to me. As a fan who believes many pro athletes are doped to the gills, I think it's looking like a classic case of pushing your body too far with PED's and it just breaks down.

there's no cure for tendinitis other than rest.

[widowmaker]

Its like a relationship that you dont want to end. Let it go its not you its me type of thing move on and adjust your line ups and go to war with what you have. This year is already done 3rd int he weat who cares 1st round out of the west is how thos is gonna end up anyway. Good luck KL we need some ball players here not a elite ****.

Well he's had lots of that.. He hasn't really played since the playoffs..

Amputation comes to mind (but then you might have "phantom" tendinitis so I wouldn't risk it).

Disagree

[Keepin' it real]

Well, I know spurstalk tried for a long time to pick the best nickname for Kawhi. I think "The Klaw" was an unofficial winner, but with this injury nonsense, my nickname for him will be:

Kawhi "Tendinopathy" Leonard

Has a nice ring to it, takes a fat steaming dump on the tongue.

Hindsight but it would have been great if Blossomgame was on our active roster. Kind of odd that we had a full roster from the get go, usually FO keeps open spots for call ups, etc.

[TD 21]

Hearing that Lisa Salters report about Pop saying there is still no timeline to Kawhi return is so dispiriting.

Tells me that we are really close to hearing that he's getting shutdown for the season..They probably know it and are just trying to renew season tickets sales and sell the remaining ones from their marquee matchups before dropping the inevitable news..

Suspected as much when even after he had been back for a while, he still supposedly couldn't eclipse 30 minutes and needed multiple days off between games.

Even if/when his getting shutdown for the season happens, they still need to offer the super max. It doesn't even matter if he claims to be okay with waiting until the following off season; that's a risk they can't be willing to take because at that point he'll become unrestricted. One way or another, they need to sort out his future this summer. He either signs the super max or is traded to Celtics for Brown, Tatum, either Clippers or Grizzlies 1st.

If he doesnt play or he does and gets injured again, let him walk or trade. Tired of this grant hill bum

[acoelho1]

Definitely the most frustrating season I can remember. It’s one thing to lose to the better team but to have an injury with no timetable is about as bad as it gets as far as the Spurs are concerned. It also doesn’t help with Pops non-updates. I do believe this team has a chance but we need all our horses and that includes Rudy.

[tholdren]

Trade kl mills to celtics for tatum and gordon

[BillMc]

The theories on here....

Do you not think kl should speak on what is or is not going on, but let his uncle?

[spurs10]

“Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean someone is not following you!” There a lot worrying going on to be sure. I think it’s crazy that he’s playing possum or anything like that. Doubt Kawhi is plotting against the team. He’s just got a really unfortunate and strange injury.

I would be surprised if less than 90% of the NBA are on PEDs, everybody knows NBA/NFL testing is a joke because they want to protect their players and not end up like baseball

Haha i tend to agree. when a mate asked me whats up with Kawai not playing . Afte explaining the msytery that was his first conclusion . He a psychiatric nurse whos into fitness & bball. As a spurs fan I didnt want to enetertain the thought.

[barbacoataco]

Leonard's physique is one of the most steroid-y in the NBA, and he didn't always look like that.
